In the midst of our digital landscape, the interplay between music and video offers artists an authentic way to engage with audiences. To bridge this gap, Notre Dame’s Office of Digital Learning, in collaboration with colleagues from the Department of Music, the Graduate Program in Sacred Music, and the Dept. of Film, Television, and Theatre, has developed "Performance Video Creation for Musicians" on ND Canvas.
The creation of this resource is the result of a collaborative effort between Stephen Lancaster, Bill Donaruma, and the outstanding team at ODL. They sought to design a digital platform for artists to refine their video production capabilities. After many meetings, careful planning, and video recording efforts – enhanced with audio production by Daniel Stein at O’Neill Hall of Music and Sacred Music – their vision culminated in this practical learning resource.
